In 2025, The Aphelion Graduate Foundation received nominations for 8 south Florida students who had overcome significant personal challenges to achieve high school graduation. Thanks to the generous support from our south Florida community and local businesses, The Aphelion Graduate Foundation is proud to have provided all 8 nominees with individual recognition, custom commemorative medals, a catered luncheon courtesy of Publix, an ice cream celebration donated by Let’s Chill Homemade Ice Cream, Chick-fil-A and Five Below gift cards, and custom Class of 2025 tumblers donated by The Blonde Peach Boutique. Two exceptional students were recognized as the 2025 Aphelion Graduate Foundation Awardees. 2025 Aphelion Graduate Award recipients each received meaningful, individualized award gifts curated according to each student’s particular interests, abilities, and post-graduate goals.
